Since I had trouble finding a list of game and update file sizes from NUS on the web, I thought I'd create my own. A very bare-bones display is at
http://quantumc.at/gamelist.php (specific suggestions for improvements on looks or useability welcome). There isn't much there right now (it is only stuff I downloaded for testing, and my internet is slow so I tried to stick to updates I thought would be small) but there will be more in the future, and I hope one day it will have everything!
My little downloader program sends data about the game or update you downloaded to my website, which then adds it to the database. It also uses info from the database to display the size in the list. The progress bars currently are based on the output from NUSGrabber (thanks
@Moquedami for the suggestion), but later it will be based on the file sizes from the database (and can have an accurate total % complete). I compiled a new copy which I have uploaded to
quantumc.at if anyone wants to try it (repository at
https://github.com/quantumcat1/Wii-U-Downloader).
What I am hoping is that the authors of the other downloader programs (that can do more than mine and are more popular) might consider also sending data about what their users have downloaded to my website, so the database can grow much more quickly. They might also like to use the webservice I made for requesting game sizes from the database to also display sizes in their programs. If their programs are in Java I can provide the code for sending the http POST requests but if not they'll have to work it out themselves :-p
If you think this is a good idea could you please tag a dev :-) All I can think of right now is
@cearp for FunKiiU.
